Exercise 14 Page 188

Substitute the given points into the Slope Formula.

Undefined.

Practice makes perfect

We can calculate the slope by substituting the given points into the Slope Formula. m = y_2-y_1/x_2-x_1 Note that it does not matter which point we choose to use for ( x_1, y_1) and ( x_2, y_2), since the result of using the Slope Formula will be the same.

m=y_2-y_1/x_2-x_1

SubstitutePoints

Substitute ( - 3,5) & ( - 3, 1)

m=1- 5/- 3-( - 3)

a-(- b)=a+b

m=1-5/- 3+3

Add and subtract terms

m=- 4/0

The slope of the line that passes through the given points is undefined.
